My Name is
Praise
Praise
Praise's mother died shortly after he was born, and his father abandoned him. The only family member left was unable to care for him, and he was placed in a baby’s home. They sought out Rafiki for a permanent home for Praise, and he arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2014. He soon proved to be a sociable and loving boy, often greeting others with hugs and smiles. He enjoys helping his classmates and teachers. Praise is thankful that God loves him and has brought him to Rafiki to be raised in a godly manner.
